Personality Profile

“ There are some problems on this planet that seem to be intractable.”

Richard Gere - an American actor and activist who came to prominence after starring in the film American Gigolo (1980), followed by starring in An Officer and a Gentleman, Pretty Woman, Primal Fear, Runaway Bride, and Arbitrage and Chicago - born on Wednesday August 31st 1949, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.

Richard Gere is gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. He has great talent for management in all walks of life, especially in business and financial matters, where he contributes the greater vision, purpose, and long-range goals. He understands the material world, and intuitively knows what makes virtually any enterprise work. Business, finance, real estate, law, science (particularly history, archeology, and physics), publishing, and the management of large institutions are among the vocational fields that suit Richard best. He is naturally attracted to positions of influence and leadership, and politics, social work, and teaching are among the many other areas where his abilities can shine.

He possesses the ability to inspire people to join him in his quest, even when they are incapable of seeing what he sees. Therefore, those around Richard Gere need his continual guidance, inspiration, and encouragement. Gere is a good judge of character, which serves him well in attracting the right people that he can prod them then into action and direct them along the lines of his vision.

Richard's challenge in life is to understand that power and influence must be used for the benefit of mankind, and only for his personal gain. Otherwise, Richard Gere is bound to suffer the consequences of greed and run the risk of losing it all. He must also learn to bounce back from failures and defeats. As with many greate visionaries, Gere can be reckless for lack of attention to details. Thus, it is not unlikely for such personality to experience major reverses, including bankruptcies and financial failure. Richard Gere, however, has the talent and the sheer guts to make more than one fortune, and build many successful enterprises.

Gere is likely to mold a large family around him, and he is inclined sometimes to keep them dependent longer than necessary. However, Richard Gere is not demonstrative in showing his love and affection. Also, Richard must be careful of becoming stubborn, intolerant, overbearing, and impatient. These characteristics may have been born early in his life, after suffering himself under a tyrannical parent or a family burdened by repressive religious or intellectual dogmas. More...
